I hope this isn’t true but in the US, you can lie, steel, deceive, slander, cheat and manipulate but hurt a dog and your toast.

The thing about those is, as bad as those are, they are moral failings, whereas torturing animals is usually the sign of some sick psychological problems.

Normally, I would be thinking "do we have a future serial killer on our hands?", but a friend who works in a criminal psychology-related field, said Huckabee's son did this with several people from the Boy Scout camp watching, which is not the norm for future serial killer types. She said it was just the sign of somebody out of control and with some serious problems.

Like everybody else, she said the coverup is much more troubling, but not because it's an abuse of Huckabee's office, rather because it sends a sign to the son that you can do bad stuff and get away with it, with just a slap on the wrist.

Hurt a dog? If someone hung you(or someone you loved, but I doubt you are capable of such), slit your throat and pelted you with rocks until you were dead, would you feel hurt?

There is a simple love of life, respect for life, that is required.

It need not have been a dog and I'm willing to bet there are a few creatures who wish they had not run into young Huck.

And yes, you can lie, steel(how does one do this), deceive, slander, cheat and manipulate a dog. You cannot torture one.
